The Inclusive Curricular Design Certificate (ICDC) encompasses the key elements of multiple teaching and learning approaches to offer a robust and accessible learning experience for all students. The principles of inclusive curricular design focus on a proactive rather than reactive approach to course design and are founded in equity, collaboration, flexibility and accountability. This certificate addresses the idea that students are not meant to fit into a traditional “one-size-fits-all” model of education and that applying the principles of inclusive design will ensure that the range of student diversities, abilities, and needs arebeing met through a number of teaching and learning strategies.

The certificate is comprised of three courses and successful participants receive a certificate of participation.

This certificate has been accredited by the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) – Educational Developers Caucus (EDC) of Canada to ensure quality in teaching and learning. For more information, please visit EDC Accreditation information.
